You've probably already heard of Monet. This impressionist painted many beautiful pictures of Rouen Cathedral. And it's easy to see why... this building is stunning!
A Paris Rouen bus trip doesn't cost much at all! Neither does a Rouen Evreux trip! Rouen is therefore the ideal starting point for discovering Normandy.
Little strollers, Old Rouen is the perfect place for you! You'll fall head over heels for the Gros Horloge, the Aître Saint-Maclou, and all the impressive religious monuments.
Feel like visiting Rouen? You're right, that's a great idea! So we've decided to give you plenty of information for your weekend in Rouen, and in particular to answer the questions:
If you've never visited Rouen, don't wait another minute! After that, you'll surely want to go back as often as possible, so don't put off your first visit any longer.
And if you've already been to Rouen, read on anyway, we hope our suggestions can inspire your next visit.
First and foremost, we had to mention the beautiful Rouen Cathedral! Standing 151 metres tall, it dominates the city skyline, so you'll spot it as soon as you step off your cheap bus. Why do we say "cheap bus"? Because you'll need to save on your transport budget to try all the Norman specialities!
After taking photos and touring the inside of the building, you can wander the streets of Old Rouen. Above all, you must admire the Gros Horloge!
Also worth seeing: other, smaller cathedrals, the Aître Saint-Maclou, and of course plenty of half-timbered houses. After seeing all that, it's simply impossible not to fall for this lovely city in Normandy!
And that's not all! In the afternoon you can walk past the Joan of Arc tower and visit the Rouen Museum of Fine Arts.
Another interesting and very interactive museum is the Historial Jeanne d'Arc, which tells the young heroine's story with the help of technology.
Finally, in summer, don't forget to go and admire the light show on the façade of Rouen Cathedral!
